Purpose

The Committee has an overarching aim to positively transform our sector to the most pressing issues affecting our community. This will be pursued through:

​

  • Developing a Consumer Research & Insights Hub to translate academic research in a format relevant for retail managers and policymakers 

​

  • Acting as a mechanism to connect the ARA and its members to government research grants
